I was willing to fight anybody but, at the same time, I was timid of the bigger guys.
More Quotes from Chris Byrd:
Until you get a unified champion, it is split. Since I have been champion, I have really stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening from the other boxers' point of view. You cannot make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any kind of belt. Right now, I am just taking one fight at a time and just see what happens.Chris Byrd
I wanted to get a rematch with Wladimir. But I was not going to go to Germany. It was crazy to go over there being champion. I did not want to just go and hand my belt to the Germans like that. It was crazy for that thought to even come up. I would have fought him here, of course. That would have been no problem.

I think I am more confident now in my ability to fight bigger, taller guys. I just want to show I am the best out there. I am going to beat him.

To fight three times in three years is crazy. It has been disappointing to the point of sometimes you get frustrated and really just want to retire. I have been to that point, but God is faithful and I just keep plugging along. I just have to remain patient and fights will happen, but it has been disappointing.

The fans wanted to see a fight tonight and I was willing to engage. But I wasn't going to do anything stupid and risk getting knocked out just to make the fans happy.

The business side of this sport is horrible, ... I think it has taken my best years. If I would have been active these past three years, you would have seen some really good fights and special skills.
